Moving effortlessly from an uptight funeral director on Six Feet Under to a Miami blood-spatter analyst and serial killer on DEXTER, MICHAEL C. HALL continues to illuminate the humanity and intelligence in transformative, challenging characters. Last year for DEXTER, Hall garnered nominations for ‘Best Actor — Drama Series’ from both the Screen Actors Guild® and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (Golden Globes®).

Hall and the Six Feet Under cast received 2003 and 2004 SAG® Awards for ‘Best Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series,’ for which they were also nominated in 2002 and 2005.

A North Carolina native and graduate of New York University’s Master of Fine Arts program in acting, Hall has appeared in nearly a dozen major stage productions.
